Procedure

A solution of 0.372 gm (0.40 mMol) 5-hydroxymethyl-7-bromobenzofuran in tetrahydrofuran was added to a mixture of 1.80 mmol sodium hydride (60% suspension in mineral oil) in 2 mL tetrahydrofuran. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, 204 μL iodomethane were added and stirring was continued for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of water and the resulting mixture was extracted well with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a nearly quantitative yield of the title compound.
